Design Team Spotlight, Meet Caroline Sherman

Meet our new design team aka creative team for the 2013-2014 roster. Today I'd like to introduce you to Caroline Sherman.

Caroline's work brings you to an enchanted fairytale world. Her whimsical holiday creations brings so much magic into my days and to others. Caroline blends sweet vintage and kitsch styles, making sure to sprinkle her creations with some enchanted glitter. Her imagination and talent brings an enchanted vintage element to the Lisa Kettell Designs Brand. We are so happy she is here.

I can't wait to see what Caroline thinks up in the coming weeks. Here is a sneak peak of some of her amazing works!

 Notice some of Lisa Kettell Designs elements? the Charlotte and Carnival doll heads were lovingly placed on some of this extraordinary piece!

A little bit about Caroline:

I am in love with photography, spur of the moment road trips through New England and hunting for treasures at Estate Sales, Antique Stores, Auctions and Tag Sales.  My passion is creating one of a kind creations derived from bits and pieces of antique treasures I’ve picked up in my travels over the years. 

I specialize in Holiday Decor, Cocktail Rings, Necklaces, decorated bottle brush trees, pedestals and all things kitschy and fun!  I create brooches and necklaces out of vintage yo-yo pieces from grandmothers who never got to finish their quilts.  I use vintage costume jewelry stored in antique jewelry boxes for years to create pieces that fit the latest trends.  

There is always a way to intertwine the old with the new or to up-cycle an old treasure into something new and fun!  Vintage style is great because it's unique and timeless.  A vintage piece will continue to get better with age, and it's usually a one of a kind piece that no one else will have.  I am also passionate about antiques and vintage treasures because of the stories behind these treasures from long ago.

My greatest joy is to see my art on other people and in their homes.  It's an indescribable feeling to have someone appreciate your art enough to display it in their cozy homes!  I believe art is something that makes you feel something inside…when you look at that one little piece  you just can’t live without, and it kind of speaks to you.  That's a great feeling and  I hope you get as much enjoyment out of my art as I do.   -Caroline

Tanya and I met several years back during a Ranger Certification course, where we came together as a team to learn various techniques and projects via Ranger and their designers. That artful bond and support continued through the years bringing us together again as Tanya has joined the team. Her work exudes passion and strength. Her cutting edge techniques and talent within the mixed media realm, brings a whole new element to the Lisa Kettell Designs Brand.

Inks, paints, layers, canvas, found objects all come together as key essentials in Tanya's works. I'm so excited to see what she will design during the coming weeks. Her works will bring out the creativity in you.

Ranger educator since 2008. I paint angels and mermaids and other pretty girls. I love altering whatever I can get my hands on, I often recycle old objects to give then new life.

 Design Team Spotlight, Meet Debra Famularo

Meet our new design team aka creative team for the 2013-2014 roster. Today I'd like to introduce you to Debra Famularo.

Debra has been a big supporter of Lisa Kettell Designs brand of products for years. She has a whimsical imagination that comes to life in her projects. Her unique trendy style and cutting edge approach is a perfect fit for the Lisa Kettell Designs brand.

Pixies, Princess, Sugar, Spice and Wonderland Nice, are just some of the topics she creates around in her work. Mix in a positive spirit and Debra's works will spark your creativity.

 A little bit about Debra:

"Since I was a little girl, I have been fascinated with world of creating. But it wasn’t until having my son 16 years ago that I discovered the art of scrapbooking, and that’s when my passion took off!

At that time, there weren’t any ‘pretty’ scrapbooking accents in the marketplace, so I developed my own line of 3-D punch art called “button kisses” using buttons, pearls,rhinestones and other embellishments and sold my work on ebay and to scrapbooking stores. After that, I went on to create pre-made and custom scrapbook layouts on ebay. 

A few years back, HSN held a national scrapbooking contest where I was honored to be one of ten semi finalists. More recently, I have had the pleasure to be on design teams for A Kiss on the Chic, The Pink Ninjas, and was the lead designer for The Paris Hilton Creativity Collection where I had the unique opportunity to design with a line geared to encouraging young girls to be creative.

Being asked to design for Lisa Kettell Designs is truly magical for me as I have created with and adored Lisa’s beautiful creations for many years. I am honored to be a part of her talented team of artists and I hope to continue bringing out that passion of creating in others!"
